Users, Groups, and Roles
Users, Groups, And Roles are three features that play a major role while coming to Azure Active Directory by which you can create a user or add the users to the groups and assign the roles to groups, users, and services.
Users
By using the Azure AD of users feature you can create a new user with all the permissions required for the user like how many services he can access and the level of permissions he can have. The users can be employees of the same organization or they can be freelancers with very less amount permissions. And also manages the permission to users for certain permissions which they can perform on Virtual Machines, Azure functions, Azure Logic Apps and etc.
Groups
A group is a collection of users, and a single person can be a member of multiple groups. With the aid of groups, we can manage permissions for many users quickly and efficiently. Instead of managing the permissions individually, you can merge all the users into one group and maintain the permission in bulk.
Roles and Administrators
In Azure AD, access is granted for privileged actions via administrative roles. For allowing access to handle wide application configuration permissions without granting access to manage other areas of Azure AD unrelated to application configuration, we advise using these built-in roles.
Azure Active Directory
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a service for managing identities and access in the cloud. This solution facilitates access to thousands of additional SaaS applications, the Azure portal, and external resources like Microsoft 365 for your staff members. They can also access internal resources like apps on your business intranet network and any cloud apps created by your own company, thanks to Azure Active Directory. You can also maintain your on-premises Active Directory implementation with the assistance of Azure AD. Simply explained, Azure AD enables users to sign up for various services and access them from any location via the cloud using a single username and password.
